PC Tech Thinking about new motherboard and processor
Spork3245 replied to Paperclyp's topic in PC/Mac Technical and PCCB
Oh, nvm, I was thinking of their AM4 motherboard which was very lackluster for the asking price. It looks like NZXT stepped their game up for AM5 - for me, my only concerns would be CS and support as NZXT isn’t exactly known for motherboards yet, and only having 3x m.2s (but I’m a data hoarder ). Then you’ll need another key, either for your new build or previous build. If you want most of your current settings/wallpaper/etc to carry over to your new build instantly, then use your current key for the new build and buy/“obtain” a new key for your old build when/if you set it up as a emu-pc/htpc. I just didn’t want you to end up buying GDDR modules off of aliexpress or something -

That motherboard seems kind of overpriced for what it is. Are you getting it solely for the aesthetics? RAM (DDR5, not GDDR btw: GDDR is graphics card RAM) quality definitely matters, get a reputable brand and not their bottom-bin. Corsair Vengeance or Dominantor, Kingston Fury, G.Skill Trident, etc. You do not need a new Windows key, your current should carry over to a new build, but you’ll want to do a fresh install (and deactivate your current pc prior to setting up your new build). -
Just spoke with a friend of mind in Israel, he tried to reenlist but they wouldn’t take him since he’s 50 (he was special forces: airborne). Said there’s over 1000 Israeli’s injured and Hamas has taken a lot of hostages (women, children, elderly). He thinks by tomorrow morning that Gaza is going to be on it’s knees.

TBF it's only in two games and there haven't been a ton of comparisons yet. The biggest thing is that, from what I read, it looks like HDR can't be used at the same time as FSR3 for some reason (I assume it'll be fixed by EOY)

Yes, less artifacting, though, it could be that the DLSS screen is a rendered frame and the FSR3 is generated Hardware Unboxed, but I don't recommend watching their comparison videos tbh, there's a heavy bias from one of the "journalists" there IMO that make them hard to watch vs someone like Gamers Nexus or DF.

I haven't looked much, but for AM5 (7800x3D) it would be an X670 from MSI or ASUS most likely. If I didn't care about it syncing with my Corsair RGB it might be a GIGABYTE X670 AORUS ELITE AX -

I’m on AM4 so my mobo won’t help you (5900x CPU) It’s a ASUS Dark Hero Pro, I’d need to upgrade if I pull the trigger on a 7800x3D. One of the reasons I haven’t done it is because current AMD AM5 mobos kinda suck with RAM as they become unstable if using more than two sticks over 5000-5666mhz; since I have a ton of RGB and like it, I’d want 4 sticks for aesthetic purposes, and Corsair is dragging their feet on releasing DDR5 dummy RAM (it’s just blank sticks with the RGB heatsink) like they have with DDR4 -
According to Digital Foundry, you need to fully exit and restart the game when switching AA or DLSS settings or it breaks the game and also might reset some RT settings (that won’t show as changed until you fully reboot the game). I had the DF video on in the BG while cleaning, though, so maybe I misheard, but this happened with Forza Horizon 5 too iirc. They mentioned when switching from DLSS/DLAA to TAA that the performance was about the same but then they realized that RT reflections turned off on the cars after changing settings. There also seems to be a memory leak that starts when changing graphics settings unless you manually exit and restart the game (this mem leak when changing settings seems to be a super common thing now, lots of recent AAA titles have this)

There’s been price drops on it making it ridiculously tempting, if it goes below $400 with the prime sale next week I might break
